Abstract
tegrated studies of coupled social-ecological systems reveal a complexity which is not well understood (Liu et al., 2007). These studies show that social-ecological systems exhibit complex dynamics with thresholds, reciprocal feedback loops, time lags, resilience, heterogeneity, and surprises (Liu et al., 2007). As globalization intensifies, complexity further increases with more interactions across scales (Young et al., 2006; Anderies et al., 2013)...
